Santa Cruz County, California (April 16, 2020) – A traffic crash in Santa Cruz County left a motorcyclist with serious injuries Tuesday, April 14, the California Highway Patrol said.

The motorcyclist, a 26-year-old San Francisco man, was traveling on Highway 1 when he crossed over double yellow lines to pass a Honda Pilot.

Emergency personnel responded to the scene and found the rider suffering from major injuries. The name of the victim and their condition at this time were not disclosed.

The crash remains under investigation.

“Far too many motorcycle collisions are caused by the carelessness or recklessness of other motorists. Sadly, when this occurs, motorcyclists are the ones who tend to suffer the vast majority of injuries”, according to Arin Khodaverdian, Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group. Under California’s rule of comparative negligence, a victim may be able to collect compensation for injuries and other damages even if you were partly at fault for the accident.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
